I’m a bit upset with myself, that i didn’t post another “MAUS”-Update earlier. I’d love to be closer to completion with this one and would like to show a lot more of it, as i’m having a lot of fun working on it. But there are so many more ideas for this project that I want to put onto paper. As you maybe remember, when I started, I wanted this small project to consist of 5 to 6 illustrations. Right now we’re sitting at 19 and still counting, 9 are already finished, some of them still need coloring. Additionally there are the 19 pages with illustrated lettering from the last update, all finished. The problem with coloring the illustrations is the markers i use go empty very quickly and the piggy bank says i’ll have to wait a bit before buying new ones.

At this point i still want to show some progress and i also included a small speed drawing video, that shows you how i create a small artwork with the mouse. As you see i went with as little color as possible, as the markers almost give no color anymore. Still, i’d be very happy to receive a little feedback on the video : )

Ohhh, i almost forgot: The small mouse felt so real that i had to make a real one from felt. What you don’t see: it has a wireframe in it, so it can stand in different positions. It is not 100% how i made it in the drawings, but i still think that it came out great!
